Definition of embroidery
It is one of the outstanding national traditional crafts in China. It is a process of forming various beautiful images, patterns or characters on silk, satin, fabrics and modern chemical fiber fabrics with threads of various colors, such as silk, velvet and cotton, and with the up-and-down puncture movement of tiny steel needles. In ancient records, it was called "needle and thread" or "needle and thread", commonly known as "embroidery".
In the Neolithic Age four or five thousand years ago, various tribes drew images of animals or natural objects they worshipped as symbols of their own tribes, that is, "totems". "Totem" tattoos began to be engraved on people, called "tattoos". Later, with the appearance of linen, wool, silk and other clothes, the "totem" pattern tattooed on the body was embroidered on the clothes.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "clothes must be embroidered" and embroidery has become very common in the application of clothing.
